Chimpanzee Identification Contest

by

Do you want to win a 2017 Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest calendar?

If you can correctly identify each chimpanzee in all seven photos below, you’ll be entered to win!

Fine print: You can only enter once, so be sure of your answer before submitting your responses. The winner will be chosen at random among those with correct answers on Monday morning at 11:00am. If you are a volunteer of the sanctuary, you’re not eligible, because that wouldn’t be fair – but we’ll figure out another way for you to have a chance to win a calendar.

You can write your guesses in a comment below this post, or if you want more anonymity, email me: diana@chimpsnw.org.

This is an “open book” quiz, so feel free to go through old blog posts and look on the chimpanzees’ individual pages (click on the Polaroid-looking photos at the very top of the page).

Here we go:

New Year’s Day Sponsored by Diane and Sherri

by

Today is certainly a very special day. You, supporters of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, helped us to really ring in 2015 in style by getting us beyond our goal of $65,000 in individual donations in the month of December. Wow!

Two people contributed to this success by making a sponsor-a-day donation and choosing this special day to sponsor. Thank you, Sherri Mudri and Diane Mattis!

Sherri’s gift message for today is “Happy New Year to the Magnificent 7!”

and volunteer Diane shared this lovely thought, “New Year’s Day is the beginning of another year for us all to celebrate what we have and think of what we can do in 2015 to make the world a better place. 2015 will be another year for the Chimps to be loved, kept safe and well and grow because of the dedication, kindness and love each person at the Sanctuary provides freely every day. Happy 2015 to the Chimps and the Humans.”

What more needs to be said?

Here are two photos to celebrate today:

This second photo is featured on the back of our 2015 calendar – hopefully many of you are hanging up your calendars today!

 

showing off sanctuary merchandise

Every once in a while supporters send us photos of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest merchandise that they’ve purchased. I love seeing the chimps represented in people’s private homes or office spaces (or, in the case of clothing, on people). Here are a couple of recent images that we’ve received.

Here’s a 2013 calendar in the kitchen of the Edwards all the way in the UK! The calendar was a surprise gift and actually served as an introduction to the sanctuary for both the gifter and the giftee. (In case you’re wondering, we do still have a few 2013 calendars left, so get yours before they’re all gone).

And this is from a little while ago, but one of my favorite images because supporter Debbie C. personalized what she purchased. She had one of Jamie’s art prints framed, alongside a photo of Jamie and her artist’s bio that came with the art print. It makes me so happy to think of Debbie seeing Jamie everyday like this.
